OOTD: Colouring Blocking with Accents - General Election 2015~

My friends keep telling me my facial expression looks confused... ;____; but this is my default face majority of them time hmmm .___.





Outfit Details:

Coat: Dorothy Perkins 
Top: New Look 
Shorts: River Island 
Shoes: Gabor 
Bag: LE

Today is General Election day in the UK~ Votes are now closed, pretty excited to see which party will get selected! This is the OOTD I wore to school today. Colour blocking with accents. I didn't realise the colour scheme matched the British flag - blue, red and white. :') Guess I unconsciously / unintentionally dressed for the elections haha, thought it would be quite appropriate to make this outfit post. 

As for the hair bow, I DIYed it during Product Design today since I had some spare time. It matches the outfit well and adds a kawaii touch~

Did any UK readers here vote? Which party did you go with and why? ^__^
I went with Labour, due to the youth policies it offers were very appealing to me, in addition it benefits mine and future student's education more. Although there is the risk of crushing the UK's economy again, oopsss.

Innisfree It's Real Squeeze Cucumber Sheet Mask Review


Inb4: Yes I sliced up half a cucumber for the first photo #creativephotographygamestrong :')



There are 16 variations of the Innifree It's Real sheet masks; each have slightly different functions, but all offer moisture, nourishment, radiance and renewal to your skin. The cucumber mask's function is to mainly soothe, hydrate and refresh your skin. It contains cucumber extracts to make your skin clear and vital, as well as Jeju green complex to keep your skin healthy.

How to use:

  • Apply the mask after cleansing and toning your face
  • Leave it on for 10  to 20mins
  • Massage or dab the remaining essence with your fingertips for your skin to adsorb it better

Unlike other mask i've tried, this one was not lined with plastic. Be gentle when unfolding to prevent it from ripping. The mask has cutouts for your eyes and nose - great feature. It contains 20ml of solution, which is the perfect amount! No solution dripped when I was taking it out and there was very minimal left in the package. The scent is lovely~ theres a tiny hint of cucumber but it's more of perfumed floral scent.

I left it on for 20 minutes - sooooo refreshing and relaxing! It has a cooling sensation even if you don't put the mask in the fridge beforehand. The mask brightened up my complexion and left my skin feeling very hydrated and plumed. Reduced the A LOT of redness, as well as dark circles - did not expect this, so I was pretty wowed. The results lasted for like a day? ^^ The remaining essence absorbed in nicely and did not leave any residue. Very excited to try out the other functions. :')

Pros:

  • Hydrating
  • Brightening
  • Soothing - reduces redness and dark circles too
  • Absorbs easily and does not leave residue
  • Inexpensive

Cons:

  • No plastic lining, so be gentle

Rating: 9/10

Would I recommend?

Indeed! A great treat all year round, refreshing during summer and hydrating during winter. It would work well before applying makeup and after a long day of work. I think this mask would be best suited for those with drier skin.

Have you tried any the Innisfree It's Real masks? ^^

LUSH Big Blue Ballistic Bath Bomb Review


This bath bomb is perfect for de-stressing! A mini escape to the seaside away from revision and responsibilities~ 

Big Blue contains arame seaweed, which is rich in vitamins and minerals, great for your skin as it soften, tones and detoxifies. It also helps regulates your metabloism so that you'll feel calm. Fine sea salt to soften and remove dead skin cells. As well as essential oils - lemon and lavender. 

When you drop the bomb into your bath, it will begin to fizzle and bubble, turning the water into a beautiful rich lagoon blue colour. The seaweed swirls around the water and settles to bottom of the tub, it does softens so don't worry about it scratching your skin. As you soak in all the nutrients, your skin becomes soft and smooth.




The seaweed adds to overall summer getaway seaside experience, which I think is very cool. However some people may not like it. There is quite a lot of seaweed and the pieces are small, it would be great if the pieces were larger so that it would be easier to clean. I used a drain filter to catch the seaweed, incase it clogged my drains.

I'm actually not a fan of seaside/ocean scents but I really enjoyed the scent of Big Blue! Slight ocean with a hint of calming floral from the lavender oil and touch of refreshing lemon citrus. Very relaxing experience and refreshed my mind.

Pros:

  • Turns water into a beautiful vivid blue, that last throughout the experience 
  • Soft and smooth skin after use
  • Lovely calming yet refreshing scent
  • Fragrance lingers on body until the next day

Cons:

  • A little too much seaweed, might clog drains

Rating: 8/10

Overall

A wonderful little treat! Perfect during exam season (or any stressful occasions). The bath bomb gives you a lovely experience almost like a mini getaway - drifting and relaxing you with summer vibes~ Definitely recommend this to people that don't mind seaweed or the little clean up. ^^

Have you tried any Lush bath bombs? If so, which is your favourite? :')

KPop Inspired Hair: Red Velvet Ice Cream Cake Blonde and Peach Ombre



주세요 달콤한 그 맛 Ice Cream Cake~ ^.^

In before anyone comes for me: I didn't dye my hair again. 

Before I dyed my hair pink/purple; I bleached the roots and mid length of my hair to lighten the regrowth and to fix up a previous patchy mess. Which resulted in a quite an interesting ombre look that reminded me of Red Velvet's hair in their most recent song - Ice Cream Cake. So I took this opportunity to take some Ice Cream Cake inspired pictures...


major fail if I must say! xDD I didn't plan to post these photos, since these were taken the day right after bleaching. So my hair didn't have enough time to recover and looks fried... .___. Posted them in the end anyway because my friend wanted to use them as reference in the future. ^^ Here you are~


and omggggg, any readers listen to KPop? So many good comebacks this month! Rap Mon, Bang Yong Guk, EXO, EXID, San E etc. I AM SO BLOWN AWAY! Everyone is absolutely slayingggggg abhahbjsa. What's your fave song this month? :') I can't choose >.<
